Chapter 359: Beginning
The Main Library Building, also known as the Magic Headquarters.
Such a core building is equivalent to the Dark Moon Tower within the Mysterious Departnt.
This building, integrating functions like comprehensive office managent, secret text archives, and high-level conferences, ranks among the most important buildings within the Knight Academy.
Unlike other departnts.
In addition to having a dean and vice-dean responsible for students’ instruction and managent, the Library also employs a curator and vice-curator of the sa rank responsible for the unique National Royal Academy of Knights – Library Room.
Now, the person whom Dumps is taking Han Dong to et is the highly influential vice curator.
The exterior is designed to resemble the Big Ben but distinct from the Bell Tower that controls the Fate Space, and is infused with a potent magic aura.
Presenting the pass authorized by Lady Hera.
The two officially entered the Main Library Building.
First, they must cross a ten-ter-long hallway carved with various magic texts. These secret texts further detect whether the two carry any items or possess dangerous characteristics.
In this process, the crow’s mark on the back of Han Dong’s right hand faintly surfaced.
Along with the ‘Faceless Skull”s perfect disguise, it successfully deceived the inspection of these inscriptions.
Dumps on the side reminded:
“The Main Library Building was redesigned by the forr curator and is the first to adopt a multidinsional ‘staircase’ structure. You are very likely to get lost on your first visit, so stick close to … otherwise, it will be very difficult for
to find you again.”
When the door of the detection passage opened.
The wonderful construction of the library’s main hall instantly caused Han Dong to stop in his tracks.
Stairs that obviously do not conform to the rules of three-dinsional space are designed in this spacious hall.
So library staff in double-breasted coats are walking in different directions on these stairs.
As long as you understand the rules, you can go to any area of the Main Library Building at will.
Looking at such a staircase with normal three-dinsional spatial concepts will inevitably lead to confusion and getting lost.
Because of the existence of ‘multidinsional stairs’, the space utilization rate of the Main Library Building is maximized and complicated.
Even if outsiders break in, they will inevitably get lost and be unable to reach any important areas without decoding the structure of the staircase in ti, giving security staff ti to act.
“Penrose Stairs?”
Han Dong had been exposed to such multi-dinsional models in his previous life. After all, sotis he needed to perform computations at microscopic scales, and Han Dong’s mathematical foundation was pretty solid.
In basic mathematics, there is the concept of multi-dinsional space.
But this is just to help mathematicians understand the concept of multi-dinsional space, it is hard to apply to the field of physics… after all, humans are entities in three-dinsional space, and it is difficult to glimpse the structure of higher dinsions with a lower-dinsional identity.
“If constructed in this way… with the turning points of the stairs here as the center, theoretically, four perpendicular lines can be made. Judging from the way these staff are walking, it seems to be true.
The design of stairs that project a four-dinsional space into a three-dinsional space.
Was the forr curator… this amazing?”
Seeing Han Dong in thought.
Dumps asked curiously: “Nicholas, do you have a certain understanding of multi-dinsional space?”
“I only know a bit about the concept, I can’t say I really understand.”
“That’s already mighty impressive… ‘Spatial Studies’ is much harder than conventional magic studies.
Even the entry-level spatial studies can filter out 99% of apprentice knights, and subsequent learning is even more difficult.
It’s been a long ti since the Holy City last saw a team leader-level spatial mage.
I am currently taking ti to study ‘Spatial studies’.”
There seed to be so hidden aning in Dumps’ words.
Curious, Han Dong asked:
“Well, aren’t there so beings in the Fate Space who are proficient in spatial abilities?”
“They’re simply born with so intersection with multi-dinsional space, which doesn’t exactly an they’re proficient. The spatial abilities they carry are granted, not self-learned… Most of them can’t understand the underlying principles.”
A genuinely adept spatial mage is virtually unkillable and is a high-level being.
“Let’s go, we shouldn’t keep Lady Hera waiting for too long.”
The mont Han Dong stepped on the stairs, he felt the originally normal library hall ‘fold’ up. A seemingly simple staircase could easily span a large distance, and could easily access any area of the library building.
Continuously folding back and proceeding vertically.
A diagonally-hanging staircase on the wall led to the [Third Reading Room]
Once one entered a room within the Main Library Building.
The interior imdiately returned to a normal three-dinsional space structure. About ten ters tall, the library reading room had over ten pairs of white gloves ‘autonomously’ arranging books here and responsible for the cleaning work.
So senior students were using their precious ti studying here.
Under Dumps’ guidance, they found Lady Hera in the deepest part of the reading room.
A blond beauty with glasses, had a star’s charisma, and looked about thirty-five years old from her appearance.
But her figure and skin texture could definitely compete with models in their early twenties.
“Oh… you are Mr. Black White’s student? Follow .”
Hera activated a special switch, opened a secret staircase to the private office belonging to the Vice Principal.
“Sit.”
Lady Hera deliberately had Dumps sit next to her, so she could prop her long legs on his lap.
As for Han Dong, he sat on the guest sofa.
“I heard you want to minor in [Library]? Have you invested the relevant points yet?”
“Ah… I’ve already invested 3 points.”
Hera was a little surprised, she thought Han Dong would inquire about feasibility before investing, but he had already invested the crucial 3 points.
“Oh!? Three points… not bad! Are you planning to mainly study in the Mysterious Departnt in the future, or are you going to spend most of your ti in our library?”
This question required careful consideration before answering.
“I will give attention to both, but because the library start was too late, I will try to stay in the [Library] to study in the early stage.”
Hera’s expression was relatively indifferent to Han Dong’s response.
“If it wasn’t for Dumps asking
to ‘shelter’ you … No teacher in the library would touch the hot potato that you are. You need to know, although a double major isn’t completely prohibited, it’s also not exactly encouraged.
Because students end up scattering their Fate Points and energy due to double major, resulting in many failing the basic knight tests.
If you want to learn under
as a formal student, there are two conditions.”
“Please speak, Vice President Hera.”
“Firstly, if you are truly capable, you can develop a unique talent tree like the ‘Great Plague Chief’.
You need to state that I am your only tutor for your minor at the Knight’s Comndation Ceremony, and that during your study of library knowledge, I have provided a great deal of help.
Secondly, the long-term pass I applied for you only ans that you are a ‘visiting scholar’. Compared to the students within our departnt, your rights will be sowhat limited.
However, since you get along so well with Dumps, you can ask him for help with things that you can’t do.
I heard that Mr. Black White thinks highly of you, it’s a good thing for you to communicate more with Dumps privately.”
“Okay…”
In fact, Lady Hera’s requirents are simple. She won’t give Han Dong proper credentials, but he can secretly study in the library.
If he achieves sothing in the future, he must say that he is deeply indebted to the library, granting that he is an apprentice knight cultivated jointly by the Mysterious Departnt and the Library.
However, it’s already a very decent result for Han Dong to get a long-term pass, and he can slowly consider subsequent matters.
